Can I discard the WCS212 control unit - install a "standard wall switch" to control the power to the fan and then "control" it with a handheld remote?

Yes, you can discard the WCS212 control unit and replace it with a standard wall switch. I have 2 Minka Aire fans, one of them is controlled with the WCS212 and a hand held remote; the other fan is controlled with a standard wall switch (which I keep always on) and the hand held remote

Yes since the fan comes standard with the RC212. Or you can use both the WC212 and RC212 for the greatest flexibility.

Hello, yes you can! Let us know if you need a selection of remotes that are compatible for this fan!

You can hook it up to any circuit within range. For that matter you could wire in a pigtail and plug it into the wall. but in oder for the manual switch to work it has to be on the fan/light circuit. i never use the manual switch so it's not necessary

Being the unit is internally wired and activated through the cover control I doubt whether the wall switch would be needed.

Hi geo1606,Thanks for the question. This stunning fan comes with a Remote Control Transmitter. It requires just 2 wires for installation (1 hot wire). 3 speeds forward with full range light dimmer (fan must be reversed using switch on motor if available). This control is also compatible with the optional WCS213 wall control (sold separately), should you decide to operate the fan from a wall control. We hope this answers your question. If you need anything else, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193 Hi geo1606,Thanks for the question.

No, if you're asking about the hand held remote. Nothing is visible on the fan, we use only the remote and do not have a wall switch. We have 3speeds for the fan & dimming feature for the light. Hope this helps.

This remote is designed as a replacement for fans that come with wireless remotes. It can be used in place of a wall mount control if your fan has the receiver needed for wireless remotes. If it doesn't, you'll need a remote that comes with the receiver.

You can buy the remote (including the receiver module) from Amazon. You'll might have to drop the fan assembly to install the new module into the fan housing./ I don't believe the modules are interchangeable with any/all remote controls.

No. There is a box that gets hardwired between the fan and power source in the bracket that is the receiver for the remote control. A dimmer switch would only ruin that receiver.

I did not have to install the provided wall switch. You can just install and use the existing on/off switch for the fan/light you have now, but you won't be able to dim/change speed etc. It will just be stuck on what ever it is at when you install. I purchased the remote separately and it works right out of the box with the fans, so you can just use your existing switch, buy the remote and then you can change all the functions.

I attached the pull chains and cut them down really short, I guess you could set up fan speed and then detach them using the switches to control everything though :0)

You can use a universal remote. I took the remotes out of my old fans ( different brand ) and put them in these fans. Works better than the old ones.

I doubt that a remote is available. A remote would require that there be a receiver be wired to the on/off switch in the fan housing. I'd contact tech support on the Hunter website & ask if there is a kit available. Hunter does make some fans w/remote control units.

Yes, ours is installed to a double switch on the wall, and they operate independently. As well, there are two pull chains on the fan itself, so if you wire it directly, you can still operate the functions independently from the pull chains.

Not sure, there is a switch on the fan. We bypassed the remotes. We still have the remote and looked at it and there does not appear to be a switch, I would dig further. Sorry!

This fan comes with a 4-speed wall control. If you want a handheld remote, you can purchase separately. The RCS212 is compatible with this ceiling fan.

Yes, but you won't be able to us the IR remote, you'll have to use the RF remote. Also, the control box is attached to the power cord so you'll have to install an AC outlet behind the drywall to plug it in.
